The entire world is now a huge experiment. The various populations have been divided into various groups.

vision that comes from hindsite.It is a balancing act with no clear winning strategy. Sweden??? AAAAAAAhhhhhhhh...... New Zealand? YYYYYYaaaaaa. The longer we watch the cause & effect elsewhere prior to opening up, the better the decision that will be made. Error is certain. To error on the side of caution is a compassionate choise.

I hope you are not suggesting that politicians , are intelligent . The experiment was easy , most countries had a case by the end of Jan . But failed to even temp check incoming passengers . I mean have we got idiots running countries . No testing done really , Taiwan did great . I would bet the Thailand numbers came from 3 places . Europe , USA and returning overseas workers from South Korea and Ships . I mean genius , it’s not ANY politicians . Dumb and dumber .
